moments of time

there are those moments, the ones where things seem to surrealistically suspend around us and we capture a glimpse of time being stopped. it's in those moments when the weight of certain events, pressing issues, burdens, expectations, or whatever hit the hardest. the question is, when that moment passes and everything resumes in overdrive, do we dive headlong into whatever it is that's happening and ignore those pressing matters? Or do we stop and face those issues (or at least pen it into our Day Runner)?
